Residence plan
The city is a macrocosm of humanity where the achievements and failures of society are visible. Inspired by the work of Romantic painters and poetry, I wish to capture the beauty, fragmentation, and complexity of the urban life in global cities. I intend to invert the romantic desire for pastoral settings and apply it to an urban setting. Through daily plein air drawing and painting of dense urban areas in Tokyo, I will capture the fluid movement of the city.
